1 A nd the Lord said to Moses,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 M oreover, you shall say to the Israelites, Any one of the Israelites or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

`And unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do stone him with stones;

3 I also will set My face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his children to Molech, defiling My sanctuary and profaning My holy name.

and I -- I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute My holy name.

4 A nd if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from the man when he gives one of his children to Molech and they overlook it or neglect to take legal action to punish him, winking at his sin, and do not kill him,

`And if the people of the land really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, so as not to put him to death,

5 T hen I will set My face against that man and against his family and will cut him off from among their people, him and all who follow him to play the harlot after Molech.

then I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of their people.

6 T he person who turns to those who have familiar spirits and to wizards, playing the harlot after them, I will set My face against that person and will cut him off from among his people.

`And the person who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.

7 C onsecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the Lord your God.

`And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I Jehovah your God;

8 A nd you shall keep My statutes and do them. I am the Lord Who sanctifies you.

and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I Jehovah, sanctifying you.

9 E veryone who curses his father or mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or mother; his bloodguilt is upon him.

`For any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood on him.

10 T he man who commits adultery with another’s wife, even his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

`And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife -- who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour -- the adulterer and the adulteress are surely put to death.

11 A nd the man who lies carnally with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of the guilty ones shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon their own heads.

`And a man who lieth with his father's wife -- the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered -- both of them are certainly put to death; their blood on them.

12 A nd if a man lies carnally with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion, perversion, and defilement; their blood shall be upon their own heads.

`And a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law -- both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood on them.

13 I f a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

`And a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood on them.

14 A nd if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness and an outrageous offense; all three shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there be no wickedness among you.

`And a man who taketh the woman and her mother -- it wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.

15 A nd if a man lies carnally with a beast, he shall surely be to death, and you shall slay the beast.

`And a man who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do slay.

16 I f a woman approaches any beast and lies carnally with it, you shall the woman and the beast; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

`And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it -- thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood on them.

17 I f a man takes his sister, his father’s or his mother’s daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked and shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he has had sexual relations with his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.

`And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.

18 A nd if a man shall lie with a woman having her menstrual pains and shall uncover her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

`And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, -- even both of them have been cut off from the midst of their people.

19 Y ou shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for that is to make naked his close kin; they shall bear their iniquity.

`And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity they bear.

20 A nd if a man shall lie carnally with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

22 Y ou shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.

`And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in it;

23 Y ou shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I was wearied and grieved by them.

and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;

24 B ut I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord your God, Who has separated you from the peoples.

and I say to you, Ye -- ye do possess their ground, and I -- I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the peoples.

25 Y ou shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and you shall not make yourselves detestable with beast or with bird or with anything with which the ground teems or that creeps, which I have set apart from you as unclean.

`And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth the ground which I have separated to you for unclean;

26 A nd you shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.

and ye have been holy to Me; for holy I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
